"Already a wide-spread trend in Canada, much like home beer brewing in the U.S., making wine at home is an emerging trend in the states," commented Melanie Smyth, marketing associate for Artful Winemaker. "Historically, this DIY trend has been intimidating and time-consuming, but the Artful Winemaker changes that. There's really nothing like it available to consumers. After five years of research and development, we are now able to give customers an affordable hands-on wine making experience with all the tools needed to make great wine on their kitchen counter."

The All Inclusive System comes complete with everything needed to make 12 bottles of wine at home in just 28 days. The clean, easy to handle system fits on a kitchen counter and includes all winemaking equipment and ingredients, grape juice concentrates, an instructional DVD, 12 glass wine bottles, closures, foils and pre-printed bottle labels for those who don't wish to make their own custom design. By purchasing additional Artful Winemaker refill wine kits ($59.99) the system can be reused time and time again to produce all of the great tasting wines available including Cabernet Shiraz, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir and Riesling.
